Ex-Gov. Pierce, in the st. Paul Pho.
neer Press, estimates the total yield OF
wheat in the territory for the present
year at forty million bushels, corn thirty
millions, and other crops in proportion
He estimates the hay crop as being
larger than ever before, and the grass
never SO luxuriant. Commenting on
this immense grain product he says:
"Now what does all this mean? It
means a season of unexampled agricul.
tural prosperity for the territory. 1t
means the settlement of old scores, the
wiping-out Of old debts. 1t means an
influx of emigrants, which is likely to be
larger in the next twelve months than
ever before. 1t means a growth and
development beside which our past
history, wonderful as it is, will pale.
But good crop is not 80 unusual in
Dakota that the results from this years
yield should be so wonderful. No; Da.
kota never has registered failure in
crops that was anything like total, and
In no state in the union Is the farmer 80
sure Of yield, taking one year after
another. 1t is not that which makes
the present year prolific Of important
consequences. 1t is the comparison
which the situation invites. Dakota is
surrounded with failures. Agricultural
disaster seems to creep up to her very
doors on the east and stop short on the
line. Beginning in the far east the
burning drouth has continued through
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa
and even Minnesota. touching also with
its withering breath the regions and
states bordering on those mentioned.
This belt has been regarded AZ an agri
cultural paradise. That SO immense q
region should be covered by one years
disaster is remarkable and also dis
couraging That Dakota, while passing
through similar season last year, rails
ed crop which in most states would
have been regarded as enormous, and
this year eclipses all previous records,
is proof positive that there ifanywhere,
the husbandman is sure of his reward"

Coal.

The discovery of coal near Red Can
yon by j. +. Moore, as reported in our
issue of June 18th, by recent develop
ment, bids fair to become valuable
find. A tunnel run into the hill. a
distance Of twenty feet, by Mr. Moore
has exposed vein of coal thirty-eight
inches iii thickness, Of much better
quality than the samples left at this
Office which were obtained near the
surface. The coal improves steadily in
quality as the tunnel advances, and that
a body oc this valuable commodity OF
considerable magnitude and excellent
qualify will be reached in the further
development of the claim is believed to
be fully assured. The claim is located
in one of the side canyons leading into
Red Canyon, in Fall RIVER county,
about three miles south Of the Custer
county line.

The Tin Mountain.

Mr., A. l.. Sivyer. superintendent of
the Tin Mountain Mining company,
whose arrival in this place has been so
long and al rxiously awaited, accom-
panied by f. Young, an engineer in the
employ Of the company, arrived in this
city from Chicago on Thursday, and
may be found by parties desiring to see
him on business, az the Vienna hotel.
We learn from Mr.. Sivyer that the
amount Of machinery to be employed
in this enterprise is largely in excess of
the amount previously stated, and that
instead of 10000 pounds, as named in
the advertisement for bids for transpor.
tation appearing in the CHRONICLE, that
there is $1,000 pounds, all of which was
shipped at Chicago on the Goth inst
The weight of the boiler alone is 10000
pounds; the crusher weighs $500 /; the
pulverizcr 1000 and the engine and at
tachments 10000 pounds. A :orce of
men will be employed Immediately, and
it is confidently expected that the first
shipment of concentrates from the new
plant will be made in ninety days from
this date.
The cloud is lifting, and notwithstand-
ing the croak Of the croaker and the
biab Of the blackmailer, it is now as.
sured that before the wane Of the
present year all the world, including
the New York Engineering and Mining
Journal, and Tom White, may know
that Custer tin is veritable, unmistaka-
BILE, first water reality.

A meeting of the miners and business
men Of this place WAS held at Booths
hall on Monday evening for the purpose
of effecting an organization, having for
it's object the early development Of the
Comstock lode in the limestone range
an enterprise which was briefly referred
to in late issue of the CHRONICLE. f.
II. Flynn was elected temporary chair.
man, and s. Il. Shankland secretary.
The following permanent officers were
elected: President, s. M. Booth treas
urer, s. N. Fitch; secretary, E. HI.
Flynn.
Directors: e. w. Robbins, II. G.
Butterfeld, B. F. Porter, s. M. Booth, S.
N. Fitch, +. II. Flynn and A. Lovett.
The list Of subscribers with amount
subscribed to date ($4S5OO) was read by
the secretary. A committee consisting
Of i. II. Flynn, s. NJ. Booth and s. N.
Fitch was appointed by the chair to
draft bylaws, and report at a meeting
to be held on Monday evening, August
10Th, at which time subscribers were in
structed to pay in the amount Of their
subscription.
The Comstock lode is said to show
flatterlng indications Of value, and in
view of determining the value Of the
great number Of undeveloped locations
in the locality where it is situated it is
to be hoped that the interest which is
now manifested in the enterprise may
increase rather than diminish, and that
the amount subscribed may be the
means Of establishing another important
silver camp in the Black Hills.

County Clerk Baker has declined TO
call an election upon the question of the
division of Lawrence county. The
Times asserts that in so doing he was
actuated by no desire or purpose other
than a compliance with the law, as best
he could understand it, and that his
action was in accord with advice from
prominent members Of the Deadwood
bar, who were unanimous in the opin-
ion that the appeal from the action of
the board granting the petition from
the proposed new county operated as a
stay of all proceedings. The opinion
prevails that the clerk has no discretion
in the matter whatever, being practic-
ally enjoined by said appeal. This
action upon the part Of the clerk may
result in Meade remaining myth for
sometime TO come.
